Introduction
Bachelor's degrees in Economics are among the oldest and most recognized in Portugal.
Bachelor's degrees last 3 years and are partly taught in English. To make it easier to choose between Economics and Business Administration and Management, the first year of the Bachelor's degree is a common core. This means that students can choose between one area or the other at the end of the first year, making a more consolidated decision.
With a highly flexible study plan, students can personalize their academic path and undertake a six-month or one-year exchange in the final year of their degree. There are more than 100 partner universities in over 40 different countries.
Merit scholarships are available to high-achieving students who achieve high grade point averages, offering support for their exceptional academic talent and recognizing their commitment to excellence.
